ChEBI: Dixanthogen is a thiocarbonyl compound. | [Production Methods]
Dixanthogen was produced commercially by oxidising the corresponding alkyl xanthate salts, a process well documented for diethyl dixanthogen, the most common representative. Industrial manufacture involved generating an alkyl xanthate from an alcohol, carbon disulphide, and base, then carrying out controlled oxidation to couple two xanthate units into the disulphide, an exothermic step highlighted in scale up guidance. The resulting technical material was, subsequently, purified | [Mechanism of action]
